Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Ploydsge just watch it!

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Michael_Elliott Cheerleader Camp (1988) ** 1/2 (out of 4)All of the best and brightest cheerleaders in the country attend a special camp where they can extend their talents. The only problem is that some sort of madman has also shown up and soon the cheerleaders are dropping dead.CHEERLEADER CAMP obviously wasn't meant to be taken too serious and it's clear that it was making fun of the slasher genre. This here is basically PORKY'S with an added slice of murder and for the most part the film is entertaining enough to make it worth watching. What makes the film so entertaining is the cast who manage to be fun and keep you interested in everything that's going on. Of course, all of them are way too old for their parts but this is just something most viewers will be accustom to. The cast really manages to be fun and that's the most important thing. The filmmakers clearly knew who their target audience was because this works as both a horror film as well as a "teen" comedy. The teen comedy aspect basically has a bunch of beautiful women getting naked and a bunch of horny guys wanting them. The summer camp setting works just fine. As far as the horror elements go, there are actually some rather gory and violent death scenes so gore hounds will be happy as well.CHEERLEADER CAMP certainly isn't a masterpiece or even a good picture but at the same time it's entertaining enough for what it is.

Toronto85 Young girls are getting murdered in "Cheerleader Camp". The film begins with a cheer squad heading to Camp Hurrah, a camp for cheerleaders where they can train and compete for various awards. Our main character Alison starts having strange dreams, some are sexual and others are violent involving some of the girls at camp getting murdered. Those dreams start mixing with reality, and pretty soon the bodycount increases. Who is the killer and why are they murdering innocent cheerleaders?Cheerleader Camp isn't one of the better slashers of the eighties, that's for sure. In the beginning of the film, I really had no idea what was going on. You get scenes of reality, and then all of a sudden it flashes to a dream of Alison's. After about the thirty minute mark, the film starts to pick up and the characters get picked off one by one. The characters are pretty basic. You have the lead girl Alison, the hot guy Brent, the clown Timmy, ditzy Bonnie, outcast Corey, etc. Acting is nothing to write home about, Lorie griffin of "Teen Wolf" fame gets props for her portrayal of the ditzy but lovable Bonnie. That character was the only one I really cared about and hoped would survive. I thought Betsy Russell in the lead was a WEAK point for this film. Her performance was lackluster, and the script didn't help the character at all. She was pretty much a standoffish and entitled snob for the most part, qualities that do not lead me to root for her or care for her safety. One of the most important rules of a slasher flick is to have a likable "final girl" who the audience can either relate too or root for. Overall, Cheerleader Camp is a weak slasher film. It's not a movie to be taken seriously, the plot is thin and the ending leaves us wondering many things. The killer's identity wasn't that much of a shock, but I kind of just shrugged and wondered why this person would kill upwards of eight people. Cheerleader Camp does get points for it's over the top cheese and for creating a lot out of a weak budget. If you like eighties slashers, it's one to check out.5/10

insomniac_rod God Bless "USA Up All Night". I was cleaning my room when suddenly a box filled with VHS appeared. I decided to dust if off and I found some movies I taped over the years. One of them was "Cheerleader Camp" when it was presented on "Up All Night".This little slasher flick offers some black humor jokes and some decent gory death scenes.You shouldn't care for the plot as you might have guessed. You only need to know that an "unseen" maniac is on the cheerleader camp prowling, and killing cheerleaders. Well that's until you find out -easily- the killer's identity.Expect some cheesy dialogues, good humor, and thank God, nudity. This slasher has all the winning ingredients and that's why it's among the most see slashers from the 80's.Highly recommended if you are into low production values, bad acting -putrid acting-, horrible music, weak direction, etc. Overall, trash cinema. Still, it's the 80's so it's great.

Woodyanders Hey, what do you get when you cross a cheerfully dippy T&A-ridden teen sex comedic jiggle romp with a more nasty and gory slice 'em and dice 'em up body count horror slasher opus, adding a dash of "Meatballs"-type silly summercamp stupidity hi-jinks for good goofy measure? Why, you get this so-cheesy-it's-downright-choice late 80's direct-to-video junk about a mysterious murderous lunatic brutally butchering assorted lovely young lasses who've gathered together at Camp Hurrah for a big annual cheerleader contest.Toothsome 80's trash movie queen Betsy ("Tomboy," "Avenging Angel") Russell and the ever-luscious'n'lissome Lucinda ("Breakin',' "Ninja 3: The Domination") Dickey star as the main terrorized targets of the killer's wrath. "Playboy" centerfold Rebecca Ferratti, "Penthouse" Pet Krista Pfanza and a pre-porno Teri Weigel (sporting normal-sized, non silicone-enhanced natural breasts, no less!) supply lots of scrumptious eye candy in often undraped supporting roles. Among the prime suspects are the snippy head counselor (superbly bitched to snarky perfection by Vickie Benson, who's now an acting teacher), a creepy mute cook, and the sloppy tubby handyman (deliciously overplayed with mucho hambone aplomb by the inestimable George "Buck" Flower).Director John Quinn really delivers the pleasingly sleazy low-brow schlock movie goods with lip-licking flair and enthusiasm: there are genuinely shocking outbursts of ferociously grisly violence, a satisfyingly substantial number of gratuitously bared breasts on display, 70's teen hunk pin-up Leif ("Macon County Line," "Devil Times Five") Garrett singing a hilariously hideous rap song, a quick, steady pace, solid production values, a truly jolting surprise twist ending, lively performances from the entire cast, and some amazingly atrocious pun-laden dialogue (all time favorite line: "I think we'd all be better off if she'd think more about the team and less about getting honey on her muffin!"). Anchor Bay work their usual up-to-snuff magic with their excellent extras-loaded DVD: Besides a sparkling first-rate transfer and widescreen presentation struck from the original negative, we've also got a very entertaining and illuminating commentary by Quinn and producer/actor Jeff Prettyman (who appears in the picture as a useless lecherous sheriff), three trailers, an alternate title sequence, behind-the-scenes photos, and a poster and still gallery.
